After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

“Ginseng Guipi Decoction.”

Mrs. Li's expression changed. "There's ginseng... Is there any medicine that doesn't require ginseng?" She felt a little embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, you can't do without ginseng... There's not much ginseng, so you don't have to pay too much. A few dozen coins will be enough."

"Doctor Lin, Doctor Ding," Sister Li paused, "I see that your hospital is very busy. I come to help out a little every day. Can it be used to pay for the medicine?"

Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui looked at each other and nodded. "Sister-in-law, when are you free every day?" Ding Xirui asked.

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up. "It's all right. I don't have much to do in the fields anymore, and I don't have grandchildren to take care of at home. I'll be free if I have time."

"Well, come over when you are free every day and help out in the kitchen."

"That's no problem. I'm familiar with kitchen matters."

"We still need your help," Ding Xirui smiled and held Mrs. Li's hand. "You are familiar with the villagers. Can you help us call some villagers to come for diagnosis every day?"

Mrs. Li slapped her thigh and said, "That's no problem." She pointed outside the door and said softly, "I didn't invite those neighbors here. They wanted to come, but some of them didn't dare. I guess the same is true for other people in the village, so it's not difficult to invite them."

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Sister Li." Lin Mingxuan bowed.

"Doctor Lin, you are so polite." Sister Li nodded hurriedly and then looked at the paper on the table. "Do you want me to give that Guipi Decoction to those two guys?"

Lin Mingxuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll write the prescription now. You take a rest first. When the medicine is ready, I'll ask Ah Qing to call you."

"What's the point of resting? I don't need to rest. I'll just wash my hands and go to the kitchen." Sister Li stood up quickly.

Ding Xirui also smiled. She stood up and walked to the oldest woman. "Sister-in-law, please come in with me," she said.

"Okay." The woman supported herself with one hand, with some difficulty. After she stood still, she closed her eyes, her body swaying a little.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Ding Xirui hurriedly supported her.

The eldest sister-in-law opened her eyes and said, "It's okay. It's just an old problem. I get dizzy when I stand up. It will be fine after a while."

"Have you seen a doctor before?" Ding Xirui said, helping her into the house.

"No, how can I find a doctor so easily?"

Ding Xirui helped her sit down, and Lin Mingxuan placed the pulse pillow first.

"Sister-in-law, you just said that you have been having dizziness since you stood up. Can you think about when it started?"

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly. "I don't quite remember. It seemed to be after I gave birth to my second child, or after I gave birth to my third child. It's been more than ten years..."

Lin Mingxuan nodded slightly.

"Will it give you a headache?"

"No."

The woman's breathing was heavy and her face was dark yellow. Due to her old age, she looked a little listless.

"Sister-in-law, do you ever feel anxious or have a tight chest?"

"Yes, it's an old problem." The woman said, and took a few deep breaths.

"Let me see your tongue. Please open your mouth."

The woman opened her mouth as instructed. Ding Xirui noticed that her tongue coating was similar to Sister Li's, but darker.

"How's your stomach?"

"My stomach...there's nothing wrong, but my appetite isn't very good. No matter if there's delicious food on ordinary days or during festivals, I don't really feel like eating." The woman smiled bitterly.

"Did you sleep well at night?"

"It was fine when I was young, but now I often can't sleep."

"Let me take your pulse." Lin Mingxuan pushed the pulse pillow.

The woman's pulse was deep and thin. Based on various symptoms, Ding Xirui judged that she was suffering from qi and blood deficiency and some anemia. Living in the Keshan disease area, she and Mrs. Li were both potential patients.

"Sister-in-law, we can't ignore those old illnesses. Now that I'm old, the blood deficiency is getting worse." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Does it matter?"

"It's not a big deal for now, but I'm afraid that long-term illnesses will accumulate, my body will become weak, and the change of seasons or weather will make it easy to get other diseases. Once they break out, it will be serious."

The woman nodded. "Doctor, you are right. When I was young, I was in good health. I could get well by covering myself up. But in recent years, I have caught a cold in winter and had a fever once. I almost died. A few days ago, many people in the village were sick and nauseous. I put on a cotton jacket early. Others laughed at me, but I think it was because of the cotton jacket that I got through it."

"Yes, you did a great job. You need to be more careful as you get older," said Ding Xirui.

Lin Mingxuan took out a new piece of paper, wrote down the herbs including ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, white Poria cocos, Chinese angelica, Ligusticum chuanxiong, white peony root, Rehmannia root, licorice, Ziziphus jujuba seed and Schisandra chinensis, and called Xiaoqiang to boil the medicine.

"Doctor, I heard that if you have ginseng, you have to pay. How much should I pay?"

"Sister-in-law, you have to take this medicine for seven consecutive days. Come here after breakfast and dinner to take it. You will have to pay seventy cents."

"Seventy cents..." The woman clenched her hands, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sister-in-law, do you grow vegetables at home?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." The woman nodded quickly.

"Please bring some food here. It's worth twenty cents. Just pay fifty cents."

"Okay." The woman's face relaxed a little. She looked at Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui, then glanced outside, and continued, "My husband has not been in good health in the past two years. When he comes back from the fields, I want to bring him over to see us. We don't live a rich life, and you can't spend all the money on me."

Ding Xirui gently shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't let your family pay a lot of money."

"Hey." The woman stood up and walked to the door to wait for the medicine.

Others came in one after another, most of them were suffering from deficiency of Qi and blood, and were taking either Eight Treasures Soup or Four Substances Soup. Ah Qing and Xiao Qiang were busy all the time, the yard was hot, and the smell of medicine drifted far away. The woman whose right hand was struck by lightning took the medicine, and her husband Ma Liang carried her home. Ding Xirui asked her to come over to take the medicine in the evening, thinking of taking time to visit her home.

Near noon, several younger men came in one after another. Their feet were covered in mud, probably because they had just returned from the fields.

Lin Mingxuan examined and felt their pulses one by one. Unlike women with weak qi and blood, whose pulses were deep and thin or slow, their health was better, with only occasional palpitations. However, due to excessive dampness and fatigue in the fields, their arthritis was somewhat serious.

Lin Mingxuan stood up, opened a box, and took out a set of small jars.

"Xiao Qiang, come and help me with the cupping."

"it is good."

Ding Xirui watched with wide eyes, this was her first time seeing cupping. Lin Mingxuan looked back at her, smiled slightly, turned around, took out cotton cloth, wiped a few cups, and Xiaoqiang lit a candle and placed it on the table.

"Lift the bed out of the room and put a blanket on it," Lin Mingxuan continued.

"it is good."

"Let me help." Ding Xirui walked into the house sideways, helped Xiaoqiang take out everything, and then retreated to where the herbs were placed and waited.

Several men stood in a row, as curious as Ding Xirui, and occasionally poked their heads out to look.

"Big brother, please go first." Lin Mingxuan gestured for him to lie on the bed.

"Doctor, what are you doing..." The man at the head of the line hesitated.

"Cupping can remove moisture from your body and help relieve your knee pain. It will be a little painful during the treatment, but you will feel very comfortable after the treatment." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"I've only seen acupuncture, but never this." The man hesitated and lay down.

"It's okay, just relax, trust me. By the way, I need to lift your clothes and find some acupuncture points later."

"Ah?" The man turned his head and tried to get up.

"Don't worry, I'll lock the door."

The man looked at Ding Xirui in front of him again.

"Brother, I'm also a doctor and I'll be here to help." Ding Xirui explained quickly.

At some point, Mrs. Li came over.

"Hey, brother Dashi, you are a grown man, why should you be embarrassed? The doctor wants to treat the disease, you should listen to the doctor's words, and when the disease is cured, I will serve you porridge."

The man's face turned red, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and lay down on the board.

Lin Mingxuan closed half of the door, and the room suddenly became dark. Ding Xirui lit two oil lamps and placed them in front of the board.

Xiao Qiang squatted down and said, "Brother, let me take off your shoes first."

"Ah?" The man shuddered and turned over quickly.

"My feet..." His face turned even redder.

"What's wrong with your foot?" Xiaoqiang asked hesitantly.

"I just finished work this morning and my feet are dirty..."

The men outside the door also panicked and squatted down to check their feet. Ding Xirui coughed lightly and went out to get a basin of warm water. Seeing this, the men came to the iron pot and asked Yuan Sanxing, who was burning the fire, for warm water.

"Brother, relax and wash your feet first."

"Well, you need to wash your feet first." The man nodded frantically.

He quickly took off his shoes, and immediately, a smell of sweat and foot odor filled the air. Ding Xirui resisted the urge to speak or frown, and turned his face to the outside.

"Doctor, I'm done." The man rubbed his feet dry with his pants, put on his shoes, took the basin out and poured out the water.

"Dashi, don't water the trees. You'll suffocate them to death." shouted a man who was pouring water on his feet.

"You are the one fumigating the tree."

The man named Dashi put down the basin, hurried back into the house, and without saying a word, lay down on the board.

"Brother, you will feel pain in the soles of your feet and your skin will tighten in a while, but I will take the jar off soon, so just bear with it." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Okay." Daishi closed his eyes.

Lin Mingxuan placed the small jar on the candle, and then quickly pressed it on the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of Dashi's foot. The jar was sucked on the sole of his foot, and the next moment, a scream resounded throughout the hut.

"Ah!" Dashi straightened his body with a distorted expression.
